Your pet becomes an important member of the family, and grieving their loss can be difficult. There are several ways you can honor the bond you shared, ranging from pet headstones to personalized urns. Consider these options if you want to celebrate your beloved friend’s life.

How You Can Memorialize Your Family Pet

1. Design a Pet Headstone

If you’ve chosen to bury your late pet in a place you enjoyed together or at the family home, mark their resting place with a custom headstone. The stone will serve as a marker so that you can visit your beloved animal. Engrave it with a special message so that you can always remember the life you shared.

2. Write an Obituary

Writing an obituary can help you work through your feelings with a pen and paper. After writing your thoughts and memories, frame the obituary, and place it somewhere in your home. If you prefer to keep your feelings private, safely tuck the obituary into a drawer so that you can revisit it quietly.

3. Select a Special Urn

If you opt to have your pet cremated after their passing, you may want to select a decorative urn to safely keep their ashes. Keep this near their favorite spot in the home for a gentle daily reminder of your companion. You can also select a simple urn and lay them to rest in a shady area in the backyard, marking the location with a pet headstone.
